Notice Information
Notice Title
HCT - Speech and Language Therapy assessments
Notice Description
Hertfordshire Community NHS Trust ("HCT") (the Authority") has a backlog of children on their clinic lists that require Speech and Language Therapy assessments. HCT is working with the Herts Wide CCG to outsource most of these patients in an effort to reduce the waiting times for an assessment and to enable the implementation of a new diagnostic process. As such, the Authorities are seeking proposals from appropriately qualified companies who can take on the outstanding assessments to assist with clearing the backlog. HCT is seeking a value for money, high quality service that will be responsive to the needs of the client. Robust contract management and good effective liaison with HCT's key contacts will be required. Contracts are anticipated to go live in August 2021 and will run until the backlog of assessments is completed. It is expected that the contract term will be less than a year. In the event of any bidders not being able to complete the required amount of assessments in the timeframe specified, HCT reserves the right to award to additional bidders in order to complete the assessments
